The Effects Chain Editor

The Global Mode User Type parameter must be set to Advanced (see
editing functions described in this chapter.
When in Program Edit Mode on the FX page, pressing the Favorite 1 button while a Chain
(other than 0 None) is highlighted—on any of the various effects pages—will call up the
Chain editor.
You may edit Effects Chains containing up to 16 effects boxes using up to 32 DSP units.
Choose from 18 types of effects boxes, including hundreds of effects box algorithms and
presets. Create custom controller assignments and apply modulation with LFOs, ASRs and
mathematical functions.
From the Program editor, the program's Insert and Aux Chains can be edited from the FX
and LYRFX pages. In Multi Edit Mode, Chains selected for Aux overrides can be edited from
the AUX1 and AUX2 pages.
A Chain is made up of one or more effect-boxes, with each box containing a single effect.
You can have up to 16 effect-boxes in a Chain. The settings for all of the parameters of
each effect-box are also stored within the Chain. There are 30 Mod Controls that allow for
real-time control over any parameter from any effect-box in the Chain. Per Chain Control
sources are also provided to be used as inputs to the effect Mods (two FXLFOs, two FXASRs,
and four FXFUNs.) These work similarly to the LFOs, ASRs and FUNs in Program mode,
but are only available for use with the effect Mods.
